Organization of the Provisional 

Army of the United States 

in the Anticipated 

War with France, 

1798»1800, 



By Dr. Carlos E. Godfrey 



"While the United States did not actually declare war 
against France, Congress substantially did so by their 
act of May 28, 1798, in authorizing the President to use 
the naval forces at his command to prevent depreda- 
tions upon American commerce by the armed vessels of 
the French Republic; and also in their declaration of 
the 7th of the following July, that the treaties existing 
between the two countries were no longer obligatory on 
the United States. 

Congress by their act of May 28, 1798, as well as the 
one superseding it on the second of the ensuing March, 
vested discretionary power in the Executive to increase 
the strength of the regular army and in accepting the 
service of volunteers, in the event of a declaration of 
war or a threatened invasion of the country by a 
foreign power. 

Aside from these precautionary measures the Presi-

dent of the United States was authorized and directed 
on July 16, 1798, to increase the regular militaiy estab- 
lishment with twelve regiments of infantry and six 
troops of light dragoons, ''to be enlisted for and during 
the continuance of the existing differences between the 
United States and the French Republic, unless sooner 
discharged." This increase was known as the Provi- 
sional Army. The act not only defined the composition 
and grades of rank of the organizations, but directed 
the six troops of dragoons, together with the two troops 
then in service, to be formed into a regiment, and it also 
provided for the appointment of certain grades of gen- 
eral officers. This act was amended on the 3d of the 
following March, which increased the enlisted strength 
of an infantry or cavalry regiment from 700 to 1000 
men ; required the regimental staff, excepting the sur- 
geon and mates, to be commissioned in the line; and 
the grade of lieutenant, ensign or cornet, were desig- 
nated first and second lieutenants, respectively. The 
amendment further provided that a cavalry regiment 
should consist of five squadrons of two troops each; 
that an infantry regiment should be composed of two 
battalions of five companies each; that two regi- 
ments should constitute a brigade, and two brigades a 
division; together with other minor details immaterial 
to our subject. 

On July 19, 1798, all the general officers were commis- 
sioned ; Washington accepting the office of lieutenant- 
general; Alexander Hamilton becoming inspector-gen- 
eral; William North, adjutant-general; and James 
Craik, physician-genei-al. The twelve infantry regi- 
ments wore designated numerically, by order, the 5tli 
to ilio Ifitii regiments, respectively. These regiments 
togetbor witli the cavali-y were officered on January 8, 
1799, excel )ting the 13th infantry, which was accom- 
plished February 13, and the 5tli and 6th infantry on 
the twenty- fourth of the following April. 



Organization of the Provisional Army. 3 

In recruiting the Provisional Army it was designed 
that it should be raised in the following manner : Cav- 
alry Regiment- — two troops in Virginia, and one troop 
each in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and South 
Carolina; 5th Infantry — six companies in South Caro- 
lina, and two each in Georgia and Kentucky ; 6th Infan- 
try — nine companies in North Carolina, and one in Ten- 
nessee; 7th Infantry — ten companies in Virginia; 8th 
Infantry — ten companies in Virginia; 9th Infantry — 
ten companies in Maryland; 10th Infantry — ten com- 
panies in Pennsylvania ; 11th Infantry — six companies 
in New Jersey, three in Pennsylvania, and one in Dela- 
ware ; 12th Infantry — ten companies in New York ; 13th 
Infantry — ten companies in Connecticut ; 14th Infantry 
— ten companies in Massachusetts ; 15th Infantry — six 
companies in Maine, and four in Massachusetts; and 
the 16th Infantry — four companies in New Hampshire, 
and three each in Vermont and Rhode Island. The 
maximum enlistment of these organizations amounted 
to 12,928 men, including the non-commissioned staff 
and musicians. 

The large mass of unpublished manuscripts belong- 
ing to the Hamilton and Washington collections in the 
Congressional Library contains every species of official 
correspondence and returns, showing that the Provi- 
sional Army was more than a paper organization as 
generally believed. They also contain numerous lists 
of Revolutionary officers and others seeking commis- 
sions in the new army, showing their individual resi- 
dence, prior military service, recommendations, and 
other detailed minutia of personal interest. 

Carefully prepared plans of every regimental recruit- 
ing circle are found in the Hamilton papers, showing 
the location of the regimental rendezvous and the sev- 
eral sub-districts where officers were recruiting. The 
consolidated returns show that many of the regiments 
began recruiting in May, and others as late as August,

1799. The latest one noticed for November 4, 1799, 
shows the following result : 5th Infantry — no returns ; 
6th Infantry— 134 men; 7th Infantry— 258 ; 8th In- 
fantry— 424; 9th Infantry— 314; 10th Infantry— 448 ; 
11th Infantry-^58; 12th Infantry— 287 ; 13th Infantry 
—371; 14th Infantry— 327; 15th Infantry— 145 ; and 
the 16th Infantry — 233; or an aggregate enlisted 
strength of 3399 men. By the act approved February 
20, 1800, future enlistments were suspended until the 
further order of Congress, unless war should break out 
between France and the United States. 

In November, 1799, the several regiments were as- 
sembled at various military posts in the United States 
acquired by the government for that purpose. The 
staff to the brigade and division commanders appear to 
have been appointed at intervals in the spring of 1800, 
but no evidence is found that their nominations were 
either transmitted to or confirmed by the senate. On 
June 15, 1800, the Provisional Army was disbanded 
pursuant to an act of Congress approved the fourteenth 
of the previous month, whereby all officers and enlisted 
men were honorably discharged with three months 
extra pay. 

The convention of peace, commerce and navigation 
was concluded by the plenipotentiaries of the govern- 
ments of the United States and France Septembr 30, 
T800, and the ratification exchanged at Paris on the 31st 
of July, 1801. It was ai)])rovGd by the United States 
Senate December 19, 1801, and promulgated by a proc- 
lamation of the President of the United States the fol- 
lowing day.
